Abstract:
Sine-wave gating method is widely used in high-speed single photon detection (SPD) but shows extra afterpulse probability compared with the self-differencing technique. Here, we demonstrate that most extra afterpulses of the sine-wave gating SPD come from successive avalanche signals and distortion of electrical filters and also propose an effective method by removing the wider filtered avalanche signals to reduce the afterpulse probability. At 1 GHz gating frequency, the ultralow afterpulse probability is characterized as 1.0% and 0.54% for a photon detection efficiency of 20.7% and 10.9%, respectively.
